I bought an 1980 FJ 40 a while back that was imported and has a 2F and 4 speed transmission . It drove fine, ran well , blew no smoke had good power etc. The PO put in new rings and pistons, water pump and gaskets.
I am planning on an engine upgrade so went to list it for sale and when I did a compression test on it I got the following numbers :
Tested the compression and it was :
1 - 135
2 - 75
3 - 140
4 - 140
5 - 140
6 - 140
Based on that I tossed and turned on if to sell it as I was not happy with the 75 . I then took it for a final drive and just before I pulled it she had come up to 125 on number 2 so it may have just been a stuck valve etc as it hadn't been driven much.
Anyway having no interest in playing around with it I then pulled the body and rolled her out.
Originally I wasn't going to sell the transmission but I have no real use for it so I figure since I have driven it and it all worked well etc might make it easier for someone looking for a combo.
I am going to keep the T-Case But if someone has one they want to swap to leave this together that is fine. I am just after a spare .
Engine is complete and running, in fact it is still in the chassis for a few days so any body interested in buying can easily fire it up to see what they want and do any tests they feel like.
Come with:
Manifolds
Carbi
Flywheel
Clutch
Starter motor
Mounts
4 Speed Transmission
Does not Come with
T-Case
Air Cleaner
I think that is about it, being SOLD AS IS WHERE IS, nothing to hide but it is a 40 year old engine package and I have driven it maybe a mile so it is not like it has been my DD for years and I know it intimately.
I have a fork lift and can load in into whatever
$1000 ONO
Also open to trades on any late 40 / 43 / 46 stuff
Here is a Cold Start Video no choke
